My printer does this really gnarly thing where it cleans itself at 2 am and wakes me up out of a dead sleep every like 3 nights. I've gone into every setting to try and see if I can turn it off but no, it needs to self-cleanse every 3 nights or else.
Research has shown that pleasure affects nutrient absorption. In a 1970s study of Swedish and Thai women, it was found that when the Thai women were eating their own (preferred) cuisine, they absorbed about 50% more iron from the meal than they did from eating the unfamiliar Swedish food. And the same was true in the reverse for the Swedish women. When both groups were split internally and one group given a paste made from the exact same meal and the other was given the meal itself, those eating the paste absorbed 70% less iron than those eating the food in its normal state.
Pleasure affects our metabolic pathways; it’s a facet of the complex gut-brain connection. If you’re eating foods you don’t like because you think it’s healthy, it’s not actually doing your body much good (it’s also unsustainable, we’re pleasure-seeking creatures). Eat food you enjoy, it’s a win-win.
I'd wager this also has to do with gut-health, as well. If you're eating foods that your gut biome is familiar with, it makes sense that you'd absorb nutrients better than something foreign that you usually don't eat.

The greatest proverbial middle finger in this entire thing would be Trump actually winning the 2024 election despite these indictments and serving his second term. Given the timeline of 2020-now, it's probably gonna happen.
my new belief is that love should make you feel both held and free

A silly lil Sidon sketch~
Btw I post a lot more frequently on my Twitter (especially sketches) so make sure to follow that if you want more updates!
#such an interesting take on the Zora#they're now different colors and body builds#i wonder if this was due to the zoras breaking apart at multiple different points into small tribes#and then at some point they were all reunited under one tribe#they now also resemble more dolphin/shark like beings too#some are straight up manta rays
mr president there appears to be some dark souls 3 type shit happening in the northeast
You wanna know what's really screwed up that I realized now isn't likely true, like literally maybe a week or so ago
Back when Wind Waker came out, there wasn't really a whole laid out Zelda timeline. The time paradox thing didn't really exist yet. Well it did, but it wasn't nearly as fleshed out as it is now.
When I first played Wind Waker, I knew it was supposed to be a sequel to OoT. It even recounts the story briefly in the opening of the game. And then it said the Hero of Time disappeared, and people prayed to the Gods to help Ganon disappear. The Gods answered and flooded the world, leading to the islands present in Wind Waker. They're all essentially Hyrule, just the highest peaks of Hyrule as everything else is flooded miles below the ocean.
Well, when I got to the Forest Haven and talked to the Great Deku Tree and he said the line of how the Koroks once took on human forms but after the flood they changed...
I literally thought the Kokiri all drowned in the great flood. I 100% legitimately thought that the Great Deku Tree was implying that when Ganondorf broke his seal and threatened to take over the world, the Gods drowned the land and the Koriki along with it.
I now understand that "the children of the forest" are quite literally forest spirits and they can take on whatever form they choose. That's why certain people can't see them as well as adults becoming lost in the "Lost Woods" and wandering until they either become Stalfos or the trees you see in BotW.
But yes I 100% believed there was a Kokiri genocide and as much as I loved the Koroks, I could not help but feel a horrifically large pit in my stomach, at 11 years old, playing Wind Waker knowing the all the Kokiri were dead and the little Korok sprouts were all that remained.
31 year old me is very happy to realize that they did not die, they just gave up their human forms and chose to become sprouts as they could fly island to island repopulating the land with trees and shrubbery thanks to the seeds the Great Deku Tree releases every year.
being in yr 20s is like every day is a Try Not To Spend 40$ Challenge and i keep losing
You spend $100 every time you leave your house without even meaning to. Guaranteed. Groceries are fucking $100 minimum now for two people. You could probably cut it down to about $70 if you had to, but you're skimping on a lot. Let's say you spent $70 on groceries but now need gas in your car. That's basically $40. You're now at $110 and all you did was buy uncooked food and put degraded dinosaur juice in your car.
2023 is a vibe, lemme tell you.
The Spanish community of Zelda fans is lit af. Dale, Zelda Dale is my new favorite meme/song.

I am like. Having a really hard time right now lmao
This air quality warning thing is really fucking me up bad. We have never had to deal with ground level ozone in central Illinois. Ppl in Los Angeles or even Chicago are probably laughing at me right now but it’s not normal for us. We’ve never had to worry about breathing the air outside, it’s just not something we deal with here. It’s so obviously climate change and it’s utterly devastating to me.
And it’s the whole fucking state!!! The entire fucking state of Illinois is under an ozone warning!!! I thought maybe we could escape it in the woods this weekend but no, even out there in a place I go to escape and feel safe and at peace the air will be actively harmful to breathe. To me and all the other people and the animals and the poor little birds. I hate it so fucking much I’m just so angry and distraught. I hate the sun I’m tired of fucking seeing the sun. I want it to rain and rain and rain for like a week straight and I want to go outside and stand in it and cry.
It's probably due to the massive forest fire going on in Canada right now. We're having air quality warnings here in NY, too, which is early for this time of year. They're from the smoke traveling.
my stepsister is getting married next month and the amount of management behind this really makes me feel more vindicated in my “weddings are when you go to the courthouse and maybe throw a party later” thing. the ritual involved in the majority of weddings is all so bizarre and convoluted. a bachelor/bachelorette party. a gift shower. a rehearsal dinner. the wedding itself. a farewell brunch. I’m sorry, but this is deeply unrelatable. too much planning. who wants this?
or as my wife aptly put it:
